Reversal of materials where gold is encased in amber. Juxtaposition of a harsh amber block and a coarsely hewed, gold-plated lump of silver. A transition from transparency into opaqueness, combined with an interesting architectural structure.

The Jury liked the transition of patina into amber and how copper holds amber. The texture of weathered copper transforms into the texture of weathered amber.
